教皇方济各解除了比利时主教罗杰·万赫卢韦 (Roger Vangheluwe) 的圣职，后者在 14 年前承认性虐待他的侄子。 Pope Francis has defrocked Belgian Bishop Roger Vangheluwe, who admitted 14 years ago to sexually abusing his nephew. 这一决定是在这位主教认罪并没有受到梵蒂冈惩罚的十多年前做出的。 This decision comes over a decade after the bishop had confessed and faced no Vatican punishment. 万赫卢韦曾担任比利时教会的主教，在天主教会持续努力解决神职人员虐待问题后，教皇方济各颁布了他的世俗化命令。 Vangheluwe, who served as a bishop in the Belgian church, had his laicization enacted by Pope Francis, following the ongoing effort to address clergy abuse within the Catholic Church.
